Description

Environment

ABP/SI version 1.1.2
Samsung Galaxy S6
Android 6.0.1

  2. Open the LogCat view in Android Studio
  3. Finish the initialization and enable ABP content blocker in Samsung Internet (use about:contentblock)
  4. Check/uncheck the AcceptableAds option

Observed behaviour

No preference change is logged

Expected behaviour

A preference change should be logged

​SharedPreferences keeps listeners in a WeakHashMap. This means it will become the target of garbage collection as soon as you leave the current scope. It will work at first, but eventually, will get garbage collected, removed from the WeakHashMap and stop working.

We should keep a reference to the listener in a field of our MainPreferences class.
